[gpsd-users] gps_read parameters

[Charles Curley]

I have had some interesting problems with two gpsd client programs,
navit and my own brainless client, gnome-gps.

Apparently in commit 6bba8b329fc7687b15863d30471d5af402467802 Gary
Miller changed the parameters for gps_read. Fine. But that changes the
API. Which breaks my program:

Could you please bump the API version number so we mere C programmers can add 
an appropriate #IFDEF? Thanks

of brute force."
